Ice warning issued as temperature drops

A Status Yellow low temperature/ice warning for the whole of Ireland has been issued by Met Éireann.

Tonight and tomorrow (Wednesday) morning, there will be a widespread sharp frost with icy stretches and lowest temperatures of -3 degrees in many areas, which may lead to some travel disruption.

The warning came into effect at 7 p.m. this evening and is valid until 10 a.m. Wednesday.

With road temperatures dropping tonight, Mayo County Council's gritting teams are out this evening and again tomorrow morning to keep roads safe.

Drive carefully and allow extra time for your journey.
